Evaporation from seven reservoirs in the Denver water-supply system, central Colorado
John F. Ficke, D. Briane Adams, T. W. Danielson
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-114
Seven reservoirs in central Colorado, operated by the Denver Board of Water Commissioners, were studied during 1967-73 to determine evaporation losses. These reservoirs, Elevenmile Canyon, Dillon, Gross, Antero, Cheesman, Williams Fork, and Ralston, are located on both sides of the Continental Divide. Methods for computing evaporation include energy-budget, mass-transfer, and...
Preliminary flood-frequency relations for urban streams, Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia
Harold G. Golden
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-57
A method is presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods for urban streams in metropolitan Atlanta. The method is based on adjustments to the natural stream flood-frequency and rainfall-frequency characteristics of the local area as defined by urban flood studies in other areas.The effects of urbanization on flood-peak...
Sedimentation in Santa Margarita Lake, San Luis Obispo County, California
G. Douglas Glysson
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-56
The 1975 storage capacity of Santa Margarita Lake in San Luis Obispo County, Calif., was 41,400 acre-feet, a decrease of 3,400 acre-feet since 1941. Usable capacity decreased from 25,800 to 23,000 acre-feet. Long-term sediment yield for the Salinas River basin upstream from the lake was estimated at 1,150 tons per...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the Monument Valley and northern part of the Black Mesa areas, Navajo, Apache, and Coconino counties, Arizona, 1976
G. W. Levings, C. D. Farrar
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-44
The Monument Valley and the northern part of the Black Mesa areas include about 2,700 sq mi in northeastern Arizona and are entirely in the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations. The main source of water is from the several aquifers that are made up of one or more formations. The...
Computation of records of streamflow at control structures
Dannie L. Collins
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-8
Traditional methods of computing streamflow records on large, low-gradient streams require a continuous record of water-surface slope over a natural channel reach. This slope must be of sufficient magnitude to be accuratly measured with available stage measuring devices. On highly regulated streams, this slope approaches zero during periods of low...
Potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer in the Suwannee River Water Management District, north Florida, May 1976
D.W. Fisk, J.C. Rosenau
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-1
A map showing the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer was prepared for that area north and west of Gainesville to near Tallahassee, Florida. Contoured at 10-foot (3.048-meter) intervals and at a scale of 1:500,000, the map illustrates the altitude to which water would rise in tightly cased wells that...
Water-level changes in wells along the west side of the Cedar Creek anticline, southeastern Montana
D.L. Coffin, T.E. Reed, S.D. Ayers
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-93
Water levels have been measured periodically in wells along the west side of the Cedar Creek anticline in southeastern Montana since 1962-64. The measurements show the response of the Fox Hills-Hell Creek aquifer of Late Cretaceous age to withdrawals for domestic, stock, and industrial uses. Water levels were as much...
Low-flow characteristics of Minnesota streams
K.L. Lindskov
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-48
Low-flow frequency data for 161 continuous-record gaging stations having eight or more complete years of record are presented for 1-, 7-, 14-, 30-, 60-, 90-, 120-, 183-, and 365-day low flows for frequencies ranging from once in 2 years to once in 100 years. In addition, 8,146 low-flow measurements at...
Ground-water resources of the Lexington, Kentucky, area
R.J. Faust
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-113
Ground water in the Lexington, Kentucky, area occurs in Ordovician Limestones in which cavity development is generally limited to about 100 feet below land surface. Some wells produce about 300 gallons per minute in some of the large stream valleys , about 50 gallons per minute in the rolling upland...
Trophic conditions in Lake Winnisquam, New Hampshire
Leonard R. Frost Jr.
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-137
Lake Winnisquam has received treated domestic sewage for approximately 50 years and since June 1961 has been treated with copper sulfate to control the growth of nuisance algae. The Laconia City secondary sewage-treatment plant was upgraded in 1975 to include phosphorus removal. Phosphorus was not removed effectively until early 1976,...
Distribution and abundance of benthic organisms in the Sacramento River, California
Rodger F. Ferreira, D. Brady Green
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-60
General comparisons were made between benthic organism samples collected in 1960-61 and 1972-73 from five sites in the Sacramento River between Red Bluff and Knights Landing, Calif. The composition of benthic organisms from both collection periods was similar. The 1972-73 data showed variable patterns in monthly changes at each site...
Ground-water resources of the alluvial aquifers in northeastern Larimer County, Colorado
R. T. Hurr, P.A. Schneider
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-7
Ground water is a source of municipal, domestic, stock, and irrigation supply for most of northeastern Larimer County, Colo. A study of the alluvial aquifers in the northeastern part of the county was conducted to determine volume of water in storage, rate and location of ground-water withdrawals, and chemical quality...
Evaluation of ground-water quality in the Santa Maria Valley, California
Jerry L. Hughes
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-128
The quality and quantity of recharge to the Santa Maria Valley groundwater basin from natural sources, point sources, and agriculture were evaluated. The results are expressed in terms of a hydrologic budget, a solute balance, and maps showing the distribution of selected chemical constituents in ground water. Point sources of...
